Chapter 958: The neighing of the war horse
When the young man heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and swore and said: "Young Changshi, Yue Zijian, I am willing to live and die with Sifang City, the city is in the people, and the king of the city is dead." Good boy, after countless people heard this kid's loud voice, they not only rushed to secretly give him a thumbs up. The old man who was sick before, at this time, looked at his grandson with eyes that became appreciative and loving.
The queen took a token from the table and handed it to the young man and said, "If Aiqing succeeds in defending the city, the queen will promote you to the Council of Elders and serve as a general."
When the young man heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement, you must know that in the entire Quartet Clan, he is the only one who can enter the Council of Elders as a young man.
As the young man led Shengming out of the Purple Phoenix Palace, those unknown elders inquired again. Hopefully we can find out what this is all about.
The queen immediately stopped their curiosity and said, "From now on, what is happening in this hall is forbidden to spread outside, and all the elders, from now on, let me go to the northern frontier with the queen."
One sentence once again made those old men with blank expressions even more confused and inexplicable.
It was only as a team of ghost guards controlled them that they realized that they were under house arrest.
Then the queen and the news of the presbyterian council's abandonment spread like a plague through the city.
Countless big families, as well as merchants, all left the Sifang City with their own wealth and accompanied the northbound team. Suddenly, the entire Sifang City was crowded, but on the calm streets, a group of elite soldiers were walking out of the inner city and heading towards the outer city defense array.
Outside the city.
In the old Xiao Tou's military tent, two secret reports were received in two days, one of which was sent back by secret agents, saying that the Sifang City was besieged, and the queen and elders abandoned the city and went north.
The other is delivered by the queen, saying that the Sifang City is safe and sound, so there is no need to worry.
The messages conveyed by these two secret reports were diametrically opposed, which made it impossible for Lao Xiao to judge which one was true for a while.
It's just that he finally picked up the secret letter delivered by the queen and found the Morse code set between them on it.
From the code, he finally learned the truth, so he no longer worried, but poured all his energy into the affairs of Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng is about to be broken now, although Xiao Cheng's defense array is very tenacious, it still can't withstand the joint attack of these three clans.
I believe that breaking the city is also in these few days of exercises, Lao Xiao Tou really doesn't want to fall short at such an opportunity, you must know that if Nangong Yue escapes from Xiaocheng, then he will have to pay several times the price to recapture him. Such a situation is absolutely not in the interests of the Quartet.
Old Xiao Tou also wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, he couldn't hold it anymore in his heart, especially in recent days, he always dreamed that the little bell was suffering inhuman torture. She is the person that Lao Xiao has sworn to protect for the rest of her life, and she will never let her suffer such a cruel truth.
As for Nangong Yue, this rat who had been imprisoned for more than ten days, Lao Xiao thought to himself, he would definitely not be able to escape from this net.
The rest is just time.
After reading the secret report, Lao Xiao Tou burned the two secret reports together, then got up and ordered the dozens of black cavalry generals outside to prepare to start attacking the city with all their might. At the same time, they also tacitly fired signal flares in the other two directions. The three gates of the city started a war almost at the same time.
This time to attack the city, whether it is the Snow Clan or the Demon Clan, it seems that they have sent the main force, which is obviously different from the previous times. It seems that they also see the fragility of the Xiaocheng Defense Array, and they are bound to gain more benefits after breaking the city. You must know that this battle is related to who of the three clans will unify in the end, and no one will let the opponent take the lead at such a critical moment.
For Nangong Yue himself, the three clans are bound to win, but it is not how important Nangong Yue himself is, but he has seven family orders on his body, which is a symbol of the seven great families from ancient times, in the seven major families, there is such an unwritten rule, as long as the person who gets the order of the seven clans, he can command the entire seven families, and it is precisely because of this that Nangong Yue will surrender the entire seven families so smoothly.
As for how he deceived the Seven Clans Order from the Seven Great Ancestors, it is unknown.
The flames soared into the air, and Lao Xiao stepped on the candle dragon with his head and feet, and came to Xiaocheng again, overlooking the entire Xiaocheng internal defense from a god's perspective.
At this time, there was a gloom in Xiao City, after more than ten days of siege and a large number of commotion and killing in the city, there were not many people who could still walk on the street at this time, but the soldiers in Xiao City were still neat, especially the elite soldiers who surrounded Ling Xiao Pavilion with a full 50,000 people, it was like a ball of black water, protecting the entire Ling Xiao Pavilion impenetrable. Due to the demon clan's attack on Lingxiao Pavilion and Nangong Yue's unfortunate sword piercing, Nangong Yue concentrated almost the entire Xiaocheng forces around Lingxiao Pavilion. With such a powerful guard force, even a fly could not get out inside and outside the Ling Xiao Pavilion.
Old Xiao Tou stared at the guards of Lingxiao Pavilion for a while, and then repeated the siege strategy day after day, this time his extradimensional fire, once it hit the defense array, it produced a burning circle similar to water waves, it seemed that the defense array had reached the limit of resistance. This pushed Old Xiao Tou's breaking date forward by some time.
Boom! At the same time, there was also an amazing roar near the north gate and the east gate, which showed that they had all used their strongest killer moves, this level of attack was almost comparable to the bombardment of the earth rank ancestor. This is definitely not caused by anyone, but a large-scale state-level killing weapon. For the demon clan's national-level killing weapon, Lao Xiao Tou has seen it with his own eyes. However, the snowy clan state-level killing weapon made Lao Xiao Tou a little inexplicable. So he unleashed his super sense towards the Snowy Clan.
Just as Chaogan arrived at the North Gate, a huge ice array appeared in his mind. That huge ice peak is no less than stepping on any mountain peak, and with such a large ice peak running here, Lao Xiao Tou also has to admire Yin Tuoba's courage. He also appeared in front of the formation at this time, brandishing the long sword in his hand to command those snowy clan soldiers, pushing forward the huge ice peak to hit the big array.
This ice peak is not only large, but also has a strong extradimensional power. This made Lao Xiao Tou unclear where this color came from.
However, if Yan San was also there, he would definitely understand that this thing came from the ice cave where the mysterious giant was. Only anywhere else could there be such a large and mysterious ice cube.
At the east gate, the huge earth dragon turned over, and countless black-armored war horses urged the demon dragon to rush to the defensive array together. This war also reached the strongest camp that the demons could see at this time. Obviously, the fat man who controls the demon at the top is the demon general. It's just that one of his arms seems to have disappeared for some reason, and he still has some scars on his face.
Xiaocheng's defense was in jeopardy, but if these three parties wanted to capture this Empty Yuan Great Array, it would take at least a day or two. Both the coaches on that side know this in their hearts, and they are not in a hurry to tear their faces. After all, before they met Nangong Yue now, they were still an alliance.
Just when the forces of the three sides arrived in the inner city, the defensive array disappeared. The current situation immediately caught all the charging generals a little off guard. The forces of the three sides were blocking in front of the gates where they were located, and they didn't know how to choose. Could it be that the city defense is broken? Countless people glanced at each other, and then they focused their eyes on the faces of each handsome.
Old Xiao Tou stood under the city defense across his horse, staring at the hollow internal defense of Xiao City, frowning slightly, looking around at the demon fat handsome and Yin Tuoba on both sides, they also seemed to be as confused as himself, it was obvious that this city defense array was not broken by either of them. Since this is the case, it can only be one reason, that is, Nangong Yue took the initiative to give up defending the city.
Nangong Yue took the initiative to give up defending the city? How is this possible? Nangong Yue as a person? All three refuted such ideas almost simultaneously. But the reality is so real that it is happening in front of us, and how to explain it. In an instant, the three coaches changed dozens of thoughts. It also made the strange war stop in front of the inner city. Countless generals are exactly like their commanders, and their hearts are also full of doubts.
The confusion was short-lived, though, and soon a warhorse rushed toward the inner city. Whatever the reason, as long as the inner city defense is broken, it will be a boost for the three parties. As a result, the tripartite soldiers began to enter the inner city.
The horn of war flooded this thousand-year-old city, and there were cavalry everywhere inside and outside Xiao City, stomping on the ground and making a roaring sound. Countless well-armed armored warriors rushed towards the inner city of Xiao City from all directions. The city's defense array was finally completely shattered after ten days of stubborn resistance. As the main forces of the three sides attacked the city defense, those scattered guards also surrendered one after another. Soon the tripartite soldiers took control of half of the inner city, and when they were about to approach Lingxiao, where the southern city was located, a group of ironclad cavalry composed of about fifty or sixty thousand people rushed all the way along the southern city.
As they charged, they scattered leaflets along the way, with a few demagogic words written on them. That is why Nangong Yue is willing to negotiate peace with either party, offer the Seven Clans Order with both hands, and will also attack the other two forces with his alliance. This is a scheming, when Old Xiao Tou and Demon Shuai, Yin Tuoba took the piece of paper in their hands, they immediately figured out the vicious intentions of Nangong Yue, the old fox. But they could not refuse such a ruse. Because the moment the city defense array was broken, the tripartite alliance was over. Now it is only a matter of time before the three parties turn against each other. Now Nangong Yue's scheming is undoubtedly the fuse that ignited the tripartite split.
The abrupt old Xiao Tou inexplicably felt that the air around him had solidified, and the originally noisy streets and alleys had suddenly quieted down. The eerie atmosphere gives people a strong sense of oppression. It felt like a sullen atmosphere before a storm, and Old Xiao Tou looked around, and he could see a trace of uneasiness and nervousness on the faces of these generals.
At this time, Lao Xiao Tou had to admire Nangong Yue's strategy of breaking the kettle, he actually used himself as a bait to disintegrate the tripartite alliance, so as to use the power of one side to turn defeat into victory. This kind of trick, for the commander of the three clans, how can he not see it clearly, but this is the yang scheme, even if you know, you have to use it, after all, no one knows the true thoughts of each other's hearts, in case the other party loses the opportunity first, the ending is even more miserable than Nangong Yue.
There was a brief silence on the three sides, which was soon replaced by fierce shouts of killing, and then a tidal wave of people swept over from all directions. Everywhere Lao Xiao looked around, there were cavalry rushing and killing figures. Seeing this chaotic scene, Lao Xiaotou gasped and decisively gave the order to withdraw his troops.
Now this Xiao City has become a boiling pot, and you must stay away from it in order to save your own safety. As a twenty-first century, seeing countless fans and hooligans creating chaotic scenes, Lao Xiao Tou was well aware of the results of this kind of crowd commotion, so he decisively led the Quartet soldiers along a street and alley, and quickly rushed towards the outer city.
Just after Lao Xiaotou's troops withdrew from the alley, countless cavalry behind him entered it. The color of those cavalry armors immediately surprised Old Xiao. This turned out to be the foreign cavalry of the Seven Great Families, for this cavalry, Lao Xiao Tou has fought many times, so he can naturally see it at a glance. Before, the tripartite forces were only guarding against the Nangong Inner Clan Army, ignoring this foreign soldier who was not good at fighting, but at this time, they suddenly slaughtered, and it was undoubtedly a surprise attack.
It seems that the situation of the Demon Clan and the Snow Clan is worrying, and Lao Xiaotou frowned slightly, but he didn't want to turn around and come back to help. After all, at this time, the inner city has already become a boiling situation, and if you risk getting involved, it will inevitably make these countless Quartet soldiers die in vain. Rushing through the city gate, Old Xiao Tou returned to the outer city. Across the city walls, you can still hear the terrible sounds of fighting in the city. The neighing of the war horse, with the fluctuation of mana, showed the chaotic situation inside to the ears of every general of the Quartet.
"Clan King, what do we do now? If both the Demon Clan and the Snow Clan were slaughtered by Nangong Yue, wouldn't we miss the opportunity? A few thoughtful generals walked up to Lao Xiao's side and tentatively asked.
"Naturally, we can't let Nangong Yue's trick succeed, but in the current situation, we can't break the situation, and we have to wait for an opportunity before we can re-enter the city," Lao Xiao also glanced at Ling Xiao Cheng's expression with a solemn expression and explained.
"Clan King, his subordinates have a plan," a general approached him, very cautiously said.
"You are?" Hearing this, Old Xiao Tou turned around and glanced at the general, and found that his appearance was very unfamiliar, as if he had never seen him before.
"The villain is newly appointed by the queen," the man hurriedly bowed to Old Xiao and said.
"So that's the case" Old Xiao Tou immediately understood, he naturally knew very well that the queen had recently controlled the Quartet clan and the army.
"In that case, you can talk about it" Old Xiao Tou can't say trust or dislike for these new faces, in short, it's all about the future, and it's just to make some preparations for the Quartet without him in the future.
